Jobs for younger children at wedding

Are you having a printed order of service? You could have them handing those out. Or if you have some kind of box or basket for any cards that people bring, you could put them 'in charge' of that. They can also 'help' greet guests as they arrive.

As far as the two year old goes, I'd see how he's doing on the day. Preparing a job for a toddler to do in advance puts you at risk of toddler meltdown on the day. And at 2, he won't know if his job is important or not, so you can always get him to take things from one person to another so that he feels he is 'helping' even if it would be quicker to do the job yourself!

Could you buddy them with a groomsman each to help with seating guests and shadow them in their duties?

That is what we are doing, also keeps them out of mischief and the childcare is taken care of!

If you’re thinking of buddying them up with groomsmen make sure to ask the groomsmen first and allow them to say if they wouldn’t feel comfortable with that. Depends how well they know each other of course - I’m just thinking some of our groomsmen would not want to be left with children shadowing them 😂

We have 3 page boys ages 3,3 & 5 we’ve got signs for them to hold at the front saying

‘I’m only here for the cake’
‘Don’t worry ladies I’m still single’‘I’m free for a dance later’
Just for a bit of fun really xD
